The guy who checked us out for tickets was awesome and hes the sole reason for the 5 stars. Pretty small theaters/screens

Difficult to beat this locations powered recliner with footrest seating. Mens restroom was a little tight, but clean. Concession staff was very gracious and courteous for my visit. This location is conveniently right off the courthouse Metro station.

Going to the movies was a staple before the pandemic, so my family was very excited when our usual theater opened after 6 months. AMC makes the experience as safe as possible with reduced seating, space between seats, all staff are wearing masks, and increased cleaning protocols. Wearing a mask during the movie is also no biggie. Im happy theaters are opening up again and, mos of all, that proper precautions are being taken.

Tucked away small mainstream movie theater. Great for a matinee real quick, located at Metro and shops

I saw a 3D movie here and the experience was great. The screen size and volume were good. The chairs were the most comfortable and lounge as far back as possible. There is lots of space in between the rows so its easy to get up during long movies without bothering anyone. The line was very long for food and beverages but that is to be expected when the movie you are seeing is sold out.

Great seats and very safe to watch movies while practicing social distancing!

So glad AMC is open again! The staff handled all of the new preoccupations perfectly, everything is in order! And as always the theater was great, perfect sound and perfect vision!

I was visiting from out of town (NJ), and my hostess friend and I wanted to see a movie (Yesterday), and this AMC is a few blocks from her place. Im used to the ultra busy Jersey and NY multiplexes, so I automatically knew this one would be less crazy, an instant plus! My friend, who bought the tickets online, had a slight technical problem when we got to the counter, but the ticket person was patient and courteous in helping her solve it. Also, from an aesthetic viewpoint, the theatre was spacious and clean and comfortable. When I come back to visit my friend, Ill know exactly where to go for our movie night!

A great place to enjoy a movie.

My morning movie theater when I need to getaway or see a new movie I cant wait to come out on blue ray because I dont have one!!

The popcorn is stale it has been sitting to long everything else is cool.

Great Private Theater experience!

I really enjoy this theater! Its small, lowkey and still gives you the luxury frills of some of the bigger more traveled theaters. Its definitely my go to when I want a chill day out.

Come on Back to see the movie on the big screen...

This is my go-to theatre with the kids. Comfy seats, great temperature control, staff are nice and helpful, and the theaters are small enough where you don’t feel like you’re breathing other people’s germs.My only advise is to try to book your seats a couple of days in advance because they are a smaller size, they run out of seats quickly. The price you pay for more space and less people cramped into a closed space! Totally worth it!

Covid-19. Enough said

Nothing really wrong with the screen quality, but the theater appears to have a rodent infestation, as mentioned by other reviews. I saw a mouse scurrying around the floor during a movie, which is distracting and unsanitary.I also got some popcorn and it was the saltiest, driest movie popcorn I’ve ever had. Must’ve been sitting out for hours and never gotten any butter - but this was 5pm on Friday. It should’ve been hot and fresh!I wouldn’t go back to this theater.

Reclining seats are must in every movie theater. I dont like sitting up front but the seats made it work just as good as sitting in the back. Polite staff, and concession lines werent too long.

I enjoyed myself everything was as I expected

I was visiting the area and decided to see Terminator dark Fate. This theater is close to several restaurants if you need to get a quick bite to eat. The parking is adequate. Theaters were clean and good customer service.

Arrived to signage on doors notifying that the popcorn had run out. At a theatre. Entered to take our reserved, selected seats & a pair of imbeciles were in our seats because those seats were more centered than theirs. The female in the couple asked if we could just sit right next to them. I made them move, but still dealt with the inconvenience of them being made to move again when the rightful owners of those seats arrived minutes into the movie. Turns out, the rightful owners of the seats also snuck in an entire entree from a takeout restaurant, so we had to listen to & smell a meal get consumed. The point is, this used to be a great theatre & still has the potential (comfy, reclining seats, etc.), but the tone needs to be set by management to improve the experience. Even the clientele has dipped into the undesirable, stay-at-home-with-your-BS bunch

DURING A RECENT VISIT TO COURTHOUSE PLAZA 8, ARLINGTON, VA LOCATION TO SEE GOOD BOYS FILMS. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR INTO THE FILM, A SMALL RODENT RAN ACROSS MY FEET AND CONTINUED TO RUN DOWN THE STAIRS TOWARD THE SCREEN. IM NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THE SMALL RODENT TONIGHT, HOWEVER I DID LEAVE THE THEATER IMMEDIATELY AND UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT NOTIFY THE THEATER MANAGER AT THE TIME DUE TO MY DESIRE TO LEAVE. IVE ENJOYED THIS THEATER FOR YEARS AND GENERALLY ALWAYS CLEAN. THIS IS AN UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE; HOWEVER, I THINK THE MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AT THIS LOCATION.

I havent been here for a couple years. Today my wife and I came in and found nail clippings all over her seat and floor around it.went from 5 stars to 1 for lack of cleanliness.on the plus side, most comfy movie seats around...

This is my favorite place to go and see a movie. I can always find parking for little or no money. The lots or structure is not far from the entrance. There are not large crowds, and if you go during the week you will definitely get the assigned seats that you want. The only other theater that is a close second is the AMC at Shirlington. I really enjoy the sound quality, the patrons and the professional staff. I have never found stick floors or dirty seats to be an issue. The place has been open for years but still seems new. Kudos to the crew for running a tight ship.

This theater shows its age. A bit dingy, many things not working.I have been coming here for over 25 years and has been just a little too dirty and dingy that whole time.Only one of the ticket kiosks could print tickets, so after doing all the work yourself, you still had to wait in line to get tickets.Snack bar was okay. Drink machine was out of several types of drinks.Seats were comfortable, but are to easy to accidentally hit the buttons and move the seat.The theater is conveniently located, but I usually drive further to be at a nicer location.

Very clean placeCute and scenicVery excitingGood lightingSolid film selectionsPrices are competitiveFood is mediocreGood memoriesGood staffFun atmosphere

Quiet, quaint theater. Clean and cozy. Its probably my favorite as far as an AMC goes

Cool, chill movie theatre to go to. Loved the atmosphere!

Clean place, awesome food and the seating was second to none. I was soooo comfortable and the family too. Expensive but ya gotta pay ta play. We enjoyed ourselves to the max, friendly staff and an overall great experience Thank you Kathrine and crew

AMC it was very cold. were freezing. and did not start at the time of the film. very long wait. we are sick. Im still cold. no more

Really good movie theater. We go there a lot. They have reserved seats which we like. Of course everything costs a fortune and you need a mortgage to get a bucket of popcorn,... but I think most places in Arlington are like that. Especially the nice theaters with a comfortable reserved seating.

This is one of my favorite AMC locations. Its close to my house, always has parking and is always clean. Only reason for 4 stars is theres no ATM machine inside. Otherwise, perfect!

Love this theater!! Always peaceful and quiet!! I recommend to anyone. Fine know what happened to the cheese sticks, but it wasnt on the menu when we went two weeks ago.

Great customer service, very friendly. Nice decor, good bathrooms and very clean theaters with declining seats!

Ive been going to this theater for years. they have the best reclining seats and they have had them longer than most other theaters, early adopters. The theater is right outside the Courthouse metro stop and there is a parking lot and street parking nearby so pretty accessible. Typically have all the good movies at this location.

My Favorite Theater!!

I saw the Avengers Endgame at 7pm on a Tuesday. The only seating available was front row A. But, thanks to the reclining seating I was quite comfortable looking up at the big screen. I also liked being able to make my own mixed Coke because I am by nature a mixologist, always doctoring my soda fountain drinks.

One of my favorite theaters in the area! Right on the Court House Metro stop, lots of bars and restaurants nearby for after the show, and those big, red, AMC recliners for ultimate comfort while watching the bad guy get his butt whooped in the third act. Or, you know, a movie without a bunch of explosions...

It was a my birthday bash that night we saw terminator it was a good movie

AMC Courthouse Plaza 8, this place is a little bit expensive. No problem with the parking lot, the service is not that bad, and the place is not the super clean also. Comforting seat, that is the reason why this place loves by most of the people coming here. Its a nice experience, not regret at all.

Near a metro, recliner chairs, decent selection of films and friendly staff. Check this place out!

One of My favorite theater in Virginia because of the recliner. But also because of the recliner, I have to subtract two stars. The view is obscured if the one in the front choose not to recline.

The rules change without notification. We are told that backpacks are not permitted in the theater which is fine before. And they don’t have a storage place to solve the problems

The helpful staff were quick to help me with my ticket issue. The theatre was comfortable, air conditioned, and the movie quality was great. Will go again.

Nice theatre, reserved reclining seats. No bad seats in most theatres, even the front row. Good concessions but no beer/wine.

Took the operator a good 5 minutes into the movie before remembering to turn off the lights. Many patrons had to exit the movie and physically notify them outside. Happened at Lion King, Auditorium 8, 5pm show on Sunday July 28th.

It was a bad experience! I went there because I saw in the app that the joker was playing at 9:15 pm on 26 of nov at that location.After I when there they said they don’t have a show at that time.I talked to D that the movie was there online! But she didn’t believe me and asked me for a proof. I showed where the good prince screen ! She said GOOGLE USE 3rd party and not accurate !She asked for amc proof ! I showed her the other print screen ! She said it was form the day before and not the same day ! And that they can cancel a movie to adapt.That’s really unfair! I told her that I took an uber to watch the joker. It was soo bad really. I wanted them to acknowledge there mistake and let me see the joker for the Tuesday price as I planned. That’s all.D gave me a phone number to call but it was disappointing. Told me to go to amc at georgetown and to explain it to the manager over there. So they let me see the movie there.

Overall, the theater could use some updates here or there. The staff is always friendly. We prefer this location over Georgetown mostly for that reason as a lot of the Georgetown staff members are not kind/helpful (mostly at concessions). Bathrooms are typically clean as well which is a plus :) ... Definitely recommend, just know that this is an older theater with updated seats :)

One of my favorite theaters, the red reclining chairs. More like couches are very comfortable. The staff here is great. I like that you can pick your seats out.

Like most AMCs nowadays, Courthouse has been converted to the reclining seats. Im here quite frequently and have always had a great time. The only issue is the limited number of screens here. The theater often skews toward more showings of bigger films. This makes sense financially but usually means having to find another theater to see smaller movies.

Ive been seeing films at Courthouse AMC for almost 30 years, and what started as an older theater wedged in between government buildings has been renovated and fitted with the most comfortable assigned seating Ive ever seen in a theater. Pair that with the 12 minute walk over and Ive got a winner!

Saw the new Tarantino film here and had a wonderful time!

Tickets cost $35 for 2 people. We went to dinner before our movie and had leftover pizza. They made us throw it away. When we tried to buy popcorn, the girl was playing on her cell phone until a customer called her out. Awful customer service. Will not be going again.

A really comfortable theater with reclining seats! As comfy as home w/o your favorite pillow.

Ive got one complaint that breaks the entire experience of movie-going. When we watched Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 it wasnt until the movie was nearly a third of the way through that an employee decides to finally dim the lights. Seriously?They need to do their job dude. No one in the audience got up because no one wants to miss a part of the movie so you cant blames us for not reminding some to do their job! Other than that location is great due to being close to metro across the street from CVS

Not the Best Local theater but it’s clean, quiet, convenient and usually has reliable staff. Also it has Comfy seating. The problem is that it doesn’t have stadium style seating so if someone tall or with a big head sits in front of you It’s game Over, you are blocked. Still a decent theater that thankfully is usually empty when I go.

This is one of my favorite theaters in the DMV. The reclining, leather chairs are quite comfortable. The lobby is small and there’s no bar, but I always love it here. It’s quite convenient to the metro, as well; just a couple of feet from the front door.

This is my to go movie theatre since its of close proximity. Very comfortable seats. Recliners. Neat. Friendly staff.

My wife and I reserved seats for a showing of Little Women , but were disappointed to learn, only after arriving at the theater and paying $7.00 for parking, that the showing was cancelled for technical reasons. AMC refunded our ticket costs, but refused to refund the reservation fee and parking costs -- even though AMC had plenty of time to email us about the cancellation. Even now, the theater web page shows that seats are available for the cancelled showing.

This is my neighborhood movie theater. I probably go here 2-3 times a month - I love movies. The employees always look happy here and actually interact with you. Clean theaters, reclining seats, bathrooms were always clean and smelled nice. I will continues going back to this theater.

Old theater. Its pretty clean and quiet

Love this movie theater! Perfect size and the staff is very kind. They also do a good job of keeping the theaters clean!

Clean theaters. Clean bathrooms. Quick automated kiosks to buy tickets. Red leather recliners for seats you can select where you sit.

Very comfortable seating and I love being able to preselected seats! Only complaint is that parking can be a bear!

I have frequent your movie theaters for some years now. I very much enjoy the experience. However recently I have received some complaints from elderly and students. People live with a fixed income or students who are financially Unable to pay regular movie theater prices. Rely on matinee movies so they can enjoy Box off its hits. This particular movie theater Does not cater to those particular needs as by showing at least 1 or 2 Box office hits with in matinee hours. The last few days I have been looking at your company. This for taking the movie theater only shows movies that are not rating high during those hours. So how can the elderly or students take avantage of matinee prices for big hits if theyre not available..

Great little theater with comfy recliner seats and plenty of space. Walking distant from Ragtime and Courthaus Social to grab a quick bite and stroll over to end a night with a good movie and right in front of the metro for easy ride home. My only gripe is not all movies are shown here but still a comfy close favorite

Comfy and beautiful.

Love the reserved seating and reclining seats. The seats are nicely spaced so you aren’t on top of your neighbor. Lots of showtimes offered for top new movies. Popcorn was good, typical delicious buttery popcorn. The only reason for 4 stars is the parking situation in Courthouse plaza area. An issue for all locals businesses I’m sure but still frustrating. Will be coming back now that we know we know where to park.

Nice and clean. Small theaters and recliners!

Only place I go to see movies. Always clean. Drink machines are best in Arlington. Diet Coke! Tuesdays, matinees and discounts available. Its worth joining the AMC club for food discounts.

Seats are comfortable

Fancy comfy chairs and adult beverages and even reserved seating. Thats not even as good as Broadway! Its even nicer than my comfy couch and my big screen TV at home. And there are nice restaurants and bars in the area for before and after. You can really make a night of it. Lots of premium and lovely choices even outside of the movie theater cinema.

Small theater with super comfy reclining couches. There is a parking lot right by the theater entrance which is nice as well.

The lobby is small, so plan ahead and get there early if you want concessions. Other than that, the theaters were nice and roomy. Got to love the reclining seats and ability to reserve your seats.

Very convenient location near Metro Station. Comfortable seating. Good eats nearby.

Food court prices were a bit high but the quality made it worth it!

Selective bag policy. Wasted time and money coming down here only to be turned away with no apology. Very disappointed and can no longer go to this theater as I usually have a bag on me after work. No issues at other theaters or at other times that I have come to the same theater??

Its a small theater but super nice. Enjoyed the theater!

If you visit here make sure to get the recliner reserved. The larger theaters are the traditional style. It’s a large theatre and sometimes they don’t have the right people in the right places and are understaffed.

Great matinee price with lots of options

Great food, comfortable seats, kid friendly environment. In a really good safe area. Near starbucks and nail salon. Cant beat it.

Small theatres, unorganised, people don’t sit where there are supposed to be sitting and the staff doesn’t care that much about it.

I love the soda and beverage options here!!

Parking was confusing and they dont have twizzlers but the seats are very comfortable.

I love the feeling chairs. During this visit, I ordered a #1 combo and got a free bag of Gummy Bears. Nice perk.

The seats reclined which was super nice. The sound isnt as good as Tysons 16, but for the size and age of this theater was more than adequate. It was a bit dirty though with popcorn on floors in various places. I also believe that they dont have a self kiosk, but that was okay as I had mobile tickets. However, I dont think there is enough room at the entrance to purchase tickets.

Excellent theaters. Wonderful. Comfortable seating.

Went to see Mission Impossible, but it was so hot in there I had to leave several times. I thought I should tell them in case they didnt know. He said O yeah ac broken! Now if they had told us before we blew 40$ plus on tickets and snacks I would have had a choice, but no not a word. Knowing it would be miserable in there! All the other theaters I checked out around the one we were in were all cool, lobby cool? No apology, no money back, no anything! It was a great movie, at least what I saw of it? Very unhappy when I left there! That wasnt right in any situ that I know of at least! :(

This location is better than the Waldorf Md location and Bowie, they have gourmet popcorn available and good quantities for their patrons. Not so in the two Maryland locations I mentioned.

All the theaters have the premium recliner seats. The concession stand is a bit Limited in choices but it appears this location may have been old location and AMC decided to reinvest in the theater part of the experience but not in the other aspects of the theater itself. Staff is great though.

Great staff and wonderful atmosphere. I love $6 Tuesdays!

Love this theater not only because its close to home but since they have the reclinable seats I have gone here so much more. I am also an a-lister which means that I pay 20 bucks a month to be able to watch 3 movies a week. Not bad at all. I may watch 3 to 5 movies a month so it definitely works for me. Love it for date night.

Dont act like its a burden to get us popcorn. Ive never seen someone so irritated to do their job.

The chairs recline and folks are respectful in the theater. The atmosphere in the theater allows you to thoroughly enjoy the movie as though you were at home. The cup holders are at the right arm length and there is just the perfect amount of padding to rest your arm therethrough the entire movie. When you order food, know that it is a little pricey but the chicken and waffle were slightly above average for a movie theater. The theater allows you to buy your tickets at a kiosk out front before you enter, but I recommend that you buy your tickets online to save time, and to get the seats that you want. For popular movies, I suggest that you attend the Sunday movie; as it is cheaper and potentially less crowded. Parking is free on the weekend and street parking is a short walk from the theater. If you are looking for food options before or after the movie, you are in the right place...with options merely a few blocks away. I recommend the AMC Courthouse for your next movie excursion.

Good seating. Not an overly huge theater but the seats were the reclining kind with enough room to not distrurb the people behind us. I would have given it 5 stars if there was a bar like at other AMC locations.

Great recliners! Hard not to fall asleep

Caught the Downton Abbey movie. Excellent!

Love the seats, even the close one are good

Buy your tickets in advance as the cinemas are quite small. But that makes them so cozy and intimate. The chairs are large and have retractable handles for maximum cuddle potential. And they recline almost 180°

Good movie viewing experience overall. Reserved seats reduce the stress of getting to theatre on time to get a good seat. The seats here recline very far and are very comfy. Have had a broken seat though, and with reserved seats, you cant always switch.
